Increased police presence for Albion v Palace match
Getty ImagesExtra police officers will be in the city for the Brighton & Hove Albion versus Crystal Palace match, police have announced.
The Seagulls face their rivals at the Amex Stadium on Sunday at 14:00 GMT.
A Public Space Protection Order will also be in place for the city centre, Sussex Police said.
"Fans attending were informed that alcohol outside of licensed premises, including from bottles and cans, can be seized and removed by officers," said the force.
Police said the increased presence was to ensure that everyone attending the football match had a "safe and enjoyable experience".
Some disruption to travel into the city is also expected, particularly near Brighton railway station.
Sussex Police said: "Residents and visitors making journeys are advised to allow extra travel time and to check updates with transport providers."

The arrests were made for offences including assault, assault on an emergency worker, affray and offences contrary to the Public Order Act, including two aggravated by homophobia.
One officer was injured before kick-off by what is believed to have been a "thrown pyrotechnic", police said at the time.
In March 2022, eight people were arrested during a clash between the clubs, including a woman suspected of carrying an offensive weapon.
The others were arrested on a suspicion of offences including bringing a firework into the stadium, assault and theft.
